The
Issue: Comments for the Chokecherry
Sierra Madre wind energy
project are due October 19th. The 223,000 acre
project south of Rawlins,
will include 1,000 turbines in addition to
associated ancillary
facilities. Wyoming Wildlife Federation urges
sportsmen to write to the
Bureau of Land Management to request that the
project be constructed to
minimize impacts to wildlife, recreation, and
the landscape.
Background: This area provides habitat for mule deer, elk, pronghorn, greater sage-grouse and Colorado River fish species. Additionally the area provides unique recreational opportunities for local sportsmen and women.
What Can You Do? Let the BLM know that development of wind energy, like traditional energy development on public lands should be done in a responsible manner. Wind energy development should be balanced with the many uses our public lands provide.
